So I came home after a weekend away to find my entire snake rack knocked over - a breeding pair of pueblan milk snakes and two hatchlings are MIA. Anyone have tips on where snakes might want to reside in a house? I'm guessing they've already managed to make it out of the house, but doesn't hurt to look.

What a waste.
 
Leave a warm bottle of water out during the coldest part of the day along with some screened in crickets/fuzzys (or whatever you feed). They might come out during that time....

How did the rack get knocked over?
 
Not entirely sure how the rack got knocked over but I'm pretty sure our dog's the culprit, normally I leave the door to the animal room shut when we leave but it slipped my mind this time and he probably went sniffing around in there.

He's a large animal and when we leave him alone for long periods of time he'll start to find stuff he knows is important to me and either bury it or move it into a different room.
 
That sucks man, I hope you find your snakes soon. You could try leaving out a heating pad on one side of a room. Maybe leave something near it that your snake could hide under and check it a couple times a day.
 
Set up a biggish basking light or other massive source of heat, I had my snake go missing once and found him basking happily under the table a few hours later... Snakes have amazing sense for heat. Best of luck to you though
 
wtf,that sucks bro.follow all baseboards,up under couch,dresser drawers,shoes,between magazines,inside pillow cases,sorry man.Best of luck.
 
i have heard of people putting flour along the walls, since snakes really dont move out in the open, you can see the path the took, which may help to find them.
 
I'm not stressing over it too much, they were free and this is Southern California out by the mountains/desert, so even if they did get loose outside they've got a good chance of surviving provided they make it past the domestic cats.
